I'm not sure about the panic part, but she's displaying either poise or composure.
And we live to fight another day.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Well, no. I guess not. I'm having a child character panic, but she immediately asks to go for a walk, and I think that if her parents knew how panicked she was, they wouldn't let her go outside by herself.
There's probably one German word for that entire concept.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
If you find out what it's called let me know, because I need a better way of describing it to my analyst.

"Nonplussed" is close, but it doesn't really imply that no one noticed.
Ah, definition conversation 27. It's been a while since this one came up, I think.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
roommate B just told me he's not going to pay his share of the lawn care bill because he doesn't use the lawn.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I can just imagine the bewildered face of my Grandmother at the sight of such a thing
Heh. My grandmother had early versions of those things.
what's a word for "panicked internally, but no one else noticed"?
Like a duck on a pond - all calm and smooth on the surface but paddling madly underneath. Translate that into German and you're good to go.
Though lately I have been noticing a lot of ducks just standing in shallow water so it looks like they are floating but they are actually just standing there. I don't know it seems strange to me that they do that, but it does.
